It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may – in the course of time and generations – begin to pass for the truth. One of such is the terrible lie and brazen propaganda, institutionally purveyed (against the Igbo) since the end of the Civil War, to the effect that Igboland is landlocked or has no access to the Atlantic Ocean. https://www.thecable.ng/igboland-and-its-hidden-tributaries-to-the-atlantic/amp 11 Likes 1 Share |

The problem of Nigerians is that they look at the map of Nigeria which rarely shows the water ways. Abia has access to the sea, Imo has access to the sea, Ebonyi has access to the sea. Anambra already has a River port, and has access to sea The South East is so close to the sea that it was inevitable that it would have access to the sea due to the tributaries of the river Niger 14 Likes 4 Shares |

The knowledge has been in public domain that Abia state's tributary at Obuaku is nearer to the Atlantic Ocean than the Port Harcourt's. King Jaja actually used the maritime pathway to haul palm oil down the beachhead. Having stated that, the ports at Port Harcourt and Akwai Ibom, If allowed to operate at maximum capacity, would solve Igbo merchants' problems. The outcome would be that: a) the proximity of these ports to the Igbo hinterland is very negligible. b) the long distance from the east to Lagos which precipitated the need to reside in Lagos would not be there anymore. Most Igbo merchants would enjoy doing their businesses in the comfort of their palatial mansions in the east currently left for the cockroaches. c) The city of Aba would by default become one of the biggest container terminals in Nigeria given her proximity to Port Harcourt. A distance that is about that of Tin Can Island to Oshodi. d) Most Igbo businesses would wind down to maintaining subsidiaries in Lagos. e) Land patronage by the Igbo in Lagos would decline. f) the need to buy land from these contiguous port cities would not increase from what it currently is. g) Upsurge in real estate business in Igboland h) the removal of railtracks from the "Exclusive list" to the "Concurrent" would put SE states under pressure to link the states with rail lines. i) More air traffic at the well-built Anambra airport. And as well as Imo and Enugu etc. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Mr Igbo come and tell your misguided descendants where your land begins and ends o! They are in Okigwe, Awka, Ohambele and claiming other peoples territories as Igboland. A Bonny guy just told me few minutes ago “What concerns someone from Awka with Bonny?” People are now seeing clearly that the Fulani that these Igbo people keep demonising every day and night are learners compared to their greedy inclinations and tendencies to steal lands that do not belong to them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

We all know the post-war policies made to punish Igbos and impoverish Igbos after the war but then they forgot we have a living God that never sleeps nor slumber. Nigeria as a nation will never witness real progress until Nigerians pacify Igbos. It is spiritual, it is not ordinary, the brazen injustice against Igbos and the wide approval from even children of today who ought to be seeking for justice and equity is one of the many reasons Nigeria will continue to struggle as a nation. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

1. Lekki Seaport was a total Lagos state project.. Uou cannot tell me the 5 igbo states can't come together to build just 1.. Na so Biafra want to be successful? 2. What is thos whole seaport seaport talk like is the only way to success.. No it isn't.. There are eurooeacountries doing well without port... This whole port is being talked about solely for importation in most igbo people head, why not start thinking of exporting.. You want to continue import and export jobs out when we are still under unemployment... Ndigbo should focus on export cos if u continue this your import mentality biafra too will die quicker than Nigeria.. My 2cents 6 Likes 1 Share |

COPIED: *OSEAKWA SEAPORT IHIALA; AN OPTION WITHIN* It's obvious that Lagos State remains the commercial nerve center of Nigeria and it houses the known biggest seaport in Nigeria hosting million tons of cargoes and containers of goods of private and coperate Nigerians. As a result the biggest physical commercial activities take place in compelling millions of Nigerians especially the people of the Southeast and Southsouth to leave their native states for Lagos in order to better the lots of their business interest/concerns. What many people do not know however is the existence of a potential seaport at the banks of Urashi ; *THE OSEAKWA RIVER SEAPORT,IHIALA ANAMBRA STATE*. The almighty Lagos Seaport to Atlantic Ocean is 60 nautical miles, While the Potential OSEAKWA Seaport that was abandoned in 1959 by the Nigeria government is only 18 nautical miles to Atlantic Ocean with a depth of 20mft. By implication, shipping goods from China to Lagos with Lagos Seaport is very far than shipping goods from China to Oseakwa Ihiala, using the Seaport at Urashi River Ihiala Anambra state. It also implies that Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi, Anambra, Rivers, Delta, Edo Beyelsa, Benue, Kogi and Akwaibom business men living in Lagos will find it easy to have their business in south- East and South-south by using Oseakwa seaport when and if it’s dredged. This potential seaport has the capacity of handling over 35 per cent of marine business in Nigeria. If only the elites, the economic,political and diplomatic icons of Igbo extraction can pursue and complete the seaport, it will also open up over 3,000 square kilometers of the most fertile agricultural land that has one of the highest alluvial deposits which has been in existence for well over a million years. This deep seaport will create over two million jobs, directly and indirectly, in marine business, oil and gas, power, education, housing, agro-food industry, entertainment, tourism, etc. *Who Will Bell Bail The Cat?* *Sir.

if the Igbos decide to focus on Imports only, how is that a problem to you? i ask humbly secondly, to do export, you still need a point of Exit. so when Igbo want to export their own Products, which port should they use?? Laos Ports?? every country needs a point of Product exit. So many products are being exported from Nigeria and Igboland...but most of these products use Lagos Sea Ports are their exit points. Give them what they want and see the economy boom in that region. I am Igbo...not Ipob pquaver: 5 Likes |

peter0071: It is a problem to me because i am a bona-fide son of the soil a royal one at that so you get it.. I help lots of people till today, my WhatsApp message and Facebook is loaded with good day bro,. How far how u dey? I do not ask how they are doing anymore.. Cos that initiates the billing direct. So anything to get the employment rate up is good for me. Secondly having a seaport is good and i never saw where my write up said it is bad so i am saying you dont have to wait for FG. Lagos did it alone and i see no reason the 5 southeast states cannot do it.. If it is that important to us. I also mean for the economy of the southeast. the mentality of importation should be replaced woth exportation.. So please which part of my messages did you not understand? 2 Likes |

why do we have to wait for FG to develop sea port in our land. can't all the South Eastern state come together and igbos in diaspora to build one sea port. Everything is not gra gra. so, close down this thread.yes we have deep tributaries to ocean , it's time to develop it. 2 Likes |
